   Private Key import result with 3 Address generation.

   Expected behavior Therefore, it seems a bug but also future request assumes that as bitcoin address generation has choice of version like segwit or leacy, the private key import should result within the setup.

   Actual behavior Generates 3 types wallet like Legacy, Segwit and P2PKH

   To reproduce

   This is expected behavior for legacy wallets as the wallet is watching for all three address types and is capable of spending from them.

   Sorry for confusion, I do generate my addresses using Vanity methods outside Bitcoin Core and import them using import key function. Therefore, As I realized, as soon as private key imported, it generates version 3 types of addresses for one private key. However the idea of using hundreds of address makes it unnecessary crowd in the wallet and confusing.
